Specification of Letters iatent; if

To all whom it may concern}? i water Be'it known that I', CORNELIUS 'D. S'roM- Lnn, residing at Marine City, in thecounty of St.' Glair and State .of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Toilets,"of which the following is a specification. v i v g Myinvention, which 'relates 'to that class of sanitary toilets'having means for feeding a disinfectant into the bowl While flushing said bow'hprimarily has'foriits purpose to provide a disinfecting attachment: of a; simple and economical construction, that; can be'readily applied' 'to anyfof the ordi-Y nary types of closet flushing mechanisms, without materially alteringthe said flushingmecha'nisms andwithout much expense. 5

My invention also has forits' purpose; to;

provide a disinfecting attachment 2 for "toi-.

lets adapted for connection with the conventional forms of flushing tank and pipe which the disinfecting feed controlling valve is attached directly to the'trip handleg of the closet flushing valve andis also" 10-; cated withrespect to the disinfectant hold'eri and the water flow pipe to permitthefirst, art of the flushing water to enter the tot? let bowl before-the disinfectantdischarges into and mixes withfthe water circulating within the said b'o\vl,-iand the said attachment also includes means for holding back the charge of disinfectant that passes through the feed controlling valveuntilthe flushing charge about completes its course'and comes to rest within the toilet bowl, the said disinfectant charge remaining with the Water at rest Within the bowl:

F g. 5 is a cross section'ofthe ad ustable"a1rvent device forfthe pipe con ;in "'Ithe1 construction shown, extends-down through the trippercasing 8 and" forms the v stem 9 [for the valve 7, such arrangement ,being'provided so that the flushtankvalve and :the disinfectant feed controlling valve ar simultaneously opened when the tripper ispressed down tofiush the-closet.v

1O design'ates'i the disinfectant flow pipe that connects with the trip a or controlling valve 7 .andflthe said pipe enters the flushing pipes near the outlet endthereof, as

best ,shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, [by referencelto which it-will be noticed the end of the said shaped nozzle 11 that" points in the direction of theooutflow' of, the flushing the "purpose of which -.at a suitpipe 10, terminates in an 'L- water and is provided iwitli a back check nozzle and thetrip valve -7,--the said pipe IOIis providedwith as shown,- the operation a of {feeding a charge ofdisinfectant into the pipe 10, which enters the flushingpipe 3, is positively effectedeachtime the'closet is flushed shqw a 'id ianadjustalolevent valve 13.} By reason of a connecting the valvejthat controls the flow vof the disinfectant to" the flushingjvalve tripper,

direction stated and provid I main until the next flushing, itbei'ng'underscribed, it follows that when the toilet is flushed the water passing through the flushing pipe 3, creates a back pressure in the pipe 10 and thereby closes the valve 12 andholds the disinfecting charge, that passes into the said pipelOwhen the flushing valve was tripped, until the'last portion ofthe flushing water passes through the pipe 3 and thesaid last portion of the water flow creates a suction that opens the valve 2 and thereby allows the disinfectant charge to now flow out and mix with the water stillin circulation through the top part and sides ofthe bowl until it comesfto rest withthe remaining waterin the bowl, there to restood that the said flushingoperations may occur as frequentlyas the tripper is pressed down and a disinfectant charge. 'is'at the same time obtained so long as the supply tank has disinfecting fluid therein. 7

I By providing the disinfectant discharging. pipe-'l0' with an adjustable air vent valve, as shown, theflow ofthe charge. of the disinfectant withinthe saidpipe is gov.- erned by the adjustment of the said vent valve. 7

Another and important advantage of my invention is that the same can be readily applied to the ordinary types of toilets and flushing tanks therefor Without materially changing the flushing means, and at a com-" paratively small cost.

From the forego ng taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the complete arrangement, and the manner .of operating my invention :will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains.

What I claim is:

1. In combination with the fiiushi-ng tank,

the bowl, the flushing pipe and the flushing tank valve tripper; ofa disinfectant, holder,

a pipe connectionbetween the said holder andtlie flushing pipe to the bowl,i a valve located in the said pipe connection operatively connected with the flush-ing tank valve -tripper to be-actnated as the tank; valve is opened, and means controlled the inflow of the flushing water for holding back the disinfectant charge :nntil apart of the said flushing water has entered the bowl. In combination with the flushing tank,

the bowl, the flushing pipe and the flushing tank valve tripper; of a disinfectant holder, a pipe connection between the said holder and the flushing pipe to the bowl, a valve;

located inthe said pipe connection operatively connected with the flushing tank valve tripper to be actuated as the tank valve is -,opened,- means con-troflled by the flow of the flushing water for holding back the disinfectant charge aintil a part'of the said flushing" water has entered the bowl,-

and the flushing pipe, the said connection including a discharging nozzle located within the flushing pipe and pointed in the direction of the outflow through the said flushing pipe, a backcheck valve located in the end of'the pipe connection, a disinfectant charge controlling valve in the said pipe connection adapted for being operatively connected with the tripper device for the flushing tank valve and to be opened when thesaid tripperdevice is actuated to open the flushing tankvalve.

An improvement for toilets of the characterstated; comprising a disinfectant holder, 21. pipe connection between the holder and the flushing pipe, the said connection comprising a disinfectant including a discharging nozzle located withi in the fiushingpipe and pointed in the direction of the outflow through the said flushing pipe, a back check valve located in the said end of the pipe connection, a disinfectant charge controlling valve in the said pipe connection adapted for being operativelv connected with the tripperdevice for the flushing tank valve and to be opened when the said tripper device is actuated to open the flushing 'tank valve, and an adjustable air vent located in the pipe connection that leads the disinfectant into the flushing pipe. 1 r

5. In combination with the flush tank, the bowl, the Water flow pipe between the tank and the bowl and the tank valve tripper; of a disinfectant tank, a pipe connection between the Said disinfectant tank and the said Water-flush pipe,-anda valve located in the said pipe connection having a stem positioned to be directly operatively engaged by the said t-ripper. I

6. In combination with the flush tank, the

bowl, the Water flow pipe between the tank and the bowl and the tank valve tripper; of a disinfectant tank, a pipe connection between the said disinfectant tank. andth'e said water flush pipe, a valve located in the said pipe connection having a stem positioned to be directly operatively engaged by the said trippenthe said pipe connection between thesaid disinfectant tank and the said flushing pipe being of nelatively greater length than the length of the said. flush-ing pipe whereby the water will commence to, 1

enterthe bowl beiore t idis llfsetan e t and mixes therewith. J I
